Kakuzo GmbH

Paul and Marc

…are the driving force behind Kakuzo. When they were still in school, the two friends have extensively explored Berlin’s bar business. In particular, the trend to open up new worlds of cocktail taste through tea infusions inspired them substantially. Years later, after extensive and insightful experiments in the in-house bathtub, the 2017 recipe was so convincing that they decided to share their creation with the general public. This way KAKUZO was born. In addition to the development of the flavor profile, the visually stunning design of the label helped the two widely-traveled Asia fans to establish a convincing connection between the product and its multifaceted worlds of ideas. Kitsune, tengu, maneki-neko and the lucky cat, a dragon and a koi: a winking tribute to Far Eastern myths and their mythical creatures.
